Switching to J2SE 5.0

Sun Java System Application Server 8.2 2006Q1 supports J2SE 5.0
as the underlying JVM, however the bundled PointBase database does not. If
you want to use J2SE 5.0 instead of the bundled J2SE 1.4.2 to run the Application Server,
perform the following steps (Windows and Unix):

To switch to J2SE 5.0

Download the J2SE 5.0 SDK (not the JRE) and install it on your
system, if you have not already done so.

Edit the install_dir/config/asenv.conf file ( asenv.bat on Windows), changing the value
for AS_JAVA to point to the J2SE 5.0 home directory:

Edit the as-install/samples/common.properties file, changing the line beginning com.sun.aas.javaRoot... to
reference the J2SE 5.0 home directory.

Restart the Application Server.

as-install/bin/asadmin start-domain

Note –

If you are upgrading from a JDK version earlier than the bundled
version (JDK 1.4.2_06) then you cannot upgrade to J2SE 5.0 using just the
steps above. Specifically, in addition to the above steps, you must delete
any existing domains and recreate them.
